Rationale: Language is an important medium of teaching and learning. By interacting with students and encouraging them to interact with one another through reading, writing, speaking, and listening, teachers are able to analyze how students learn and help them to communicate more effectively. Through engagement in reading and writing activities, students have to reflect on the content of their activities. As facilitators of this reflective interaction, teachers should know the theories and research findings that indicate that activities involving reading, writing, and critical thinking promote better understanding and encourage students to improve these skills. They should value the importance of reinforcing reading, writing, and critical thinking, thereby helping their students to pursue their own individual interests. They should be able to provide students with opportunitiesto engage in reading, writing, and thinking about stimulating subject matter in their day-to-day activities.
